[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 476633, member: 1408"] As with many products the Mars Bar didn't increase in price but diminished in size & thickness of chocolate . As did the Wagon Wheel & the Frozen Jubbly . When I was at school the frozen Jubbly was the size of a brick & cost 4 pence (old money ) A shilling would buy 4 Jubblys ( On Decimal Day a shilling was worth 5 p ) Today's Jubbly is the size of a matchbox ...I don't know the cost . But the humble twin socket has reduced in price , it would appear . Back when I was estimating we used the Luckins pricing book . Quality was deemed to be MK & Crabtree ...cheapo house bashing prices were using Volex , Tenby & a few others . I'm sure I remember a twin MK sky rocket being around[B] £6 .00 ea[/B]. Just looking at Denman's price guide for today ......... Steeple SSO @ [B]£ 0.99p ea[/B] Their new Hamilton range [B] £1.40 [/B].... Eaton [B] £ 1.58...[/B]........Crabtree [B]£2.25 [/B] & MK DP switched @[B] £ 3.40 ea [/B] Just saying . [/QUOTE]
